About Me

Hello. I am on the thershold of making it through my change of life. left a corperate job to become a fantasy maker for film and stage. Suddenly I find myself a teacher and love it! I teach make up at a theatre arts high school which is cool but the real kick in the rubber parts was getting hired at The Tom Savini Special Make Up Effects Program. It's like a little piece of heaven, but with blood! My students there rock! I have also completed my fourth film this halloween and my first film that I worked on is gearing up for Sundance!

It's late, and the stress of the end of school is mounting...to fear or embrace what comes next? I think I'll run head on....
